Hi Nellie,I just looooved this tablescape,so beautiful. Please wish your husband a very Happy Birthday wish from me. You have such a beautiful family.I love the idea of giving the individual mint, I think I might do this next time. One of the things I love about blogging is finding new ideas.

I love your new spring blog design, so refreshing.

Now I must go and read your Tuesday tips, I missed them tuesday, as I was working outside all day.

Hugs,Sue

Thanks for visiting, and for always leaving me such sweet and encouraging comments.Blessings, Sue

Both of our hubbies have March birthdays, Nellie! Your tablescape for his special day is beautiful. I like the napkins on the diagonal & the off set dishes. It keeps the eye moving & its unique. I'm always trying to think out of the box. Now I need to go back & find your post about candle holders out of jar lids. :)

Thanks for stopping by the Gazebo House & for your sweet comments, too.

Nellie, This is a beautiful setting. I love how elegant it looks. The china and gobletss are stunning! Great table, Nellie and tell hubby Happy Birthday. Glad you included the photo of the family too - nice to see.

Hi Nellie, this is so beautiful. That was a great idea to replace the candle in the centerpiece with the eagle. I'm having a birthday dinner over here on Tues for my m-i-l so I'm thinking of what to do. What did you have to eat?? LOL! One thing I like to use on my tables is those individual salt & pepper shakers. They are very inexpensive...I think I have a dozen sets. I put a couple grains of rice in each salt shaker and it keeps the salt from clumping up between uses. I keep them in a little basket in my dining room hutch for when I set the formal table. Have you ever tried them? You background is so perky, just like I felt today with our 72 degree temps. I think maybe spring has finally come to NEOhio! Nice "chatting"...

Hi Jacquelyn,Nice to hear from you, it has been a while.Ya know I have seen those lil salt and peppers shakers and thought about getting them but just never have, but I saw them recently on someones tablescape and thought the next time I see them I think I am gonna buy some.Just in case in might help thought I would write you back right away and let you know what I made. It was easy yet delicious and my hubbies favorite. Beef stroganoff served over yellow rice and a nice salad with good whole grain rolls, and cheesecake. It was a hit with everyone. I made the stroganoff the day before and have you ever heard of 24 hr. salad or 7 layer salad, you literally need to make it 24 hrs. before. I love stuff you can prepare ahead of time. We bought the cheesecake at Sam's it was just plain cheesecake and I put fresh strawberries on top. Yes, we have had heavenly temps here too, I have been working in the yard most of the week and it has been so delightful.You have a great weekend hon,Blessings, Nellie

Nellie, oh that sounds wonderful. I'm really in the mood to try something different and I too LOVE things that can be prepared the day before! Do you have a special stroganoff recipe you use? Its not something I normally make (Italian that I am LOL) so I could use some pointers! THANKS! Have a great weekend yourself!

I'm sure your husband felt very honored to have such a beautiful table for his birthday! It's just lovely. I especially like how you've turned the napkins in an angle for your placemats. Adds a nice interest. Thanks for sharing and happy birthday to your husband!

Hi Nellie, Just stopping by once again to say hi! it has been pretty busy here in Utah and I'll be here until the 21st. Chloe has had the flu most of the week so we are all praying it goes no farther. It looks like Jimmy had a super birthday and there you go with those fab dishes again!

Julia has been out of bed about ten times wondering when I am coming back in there. Honestly this little girl is attached to me at the hip. I wasn't sleepy for some reason but I better get back in there so she won't be exhausted in the morning when school rolls around. Have a super fun weekend.

I think it's great that you are out in the yard. I want to get that going when I get home.

Love you and loved the photo of the entire family! Now I have a face to attach to Jimmy. Fun! He looks like a really great guy!

Good morning Nellie, I would like to thank you for participating in the Something Old is Something New Again, and your post is one of our features this week!Hope you will stop by and share another old post today.
